Иногда складывается ощущение, что это просто красивая картинка на экране, им даже играть то особо не надо!Pricheozanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368299330588116529.post-14591590195785344142010-07-07T04:42:44.685-07:002010-07-07T04:42:44.685-07:00thank you, Michael for your kind words, I like you...thank you, Michael for your kind words, I like your blog :)Victoria Russohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18430430042078894520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368299330588116529.post-62910022414976755952010-07-06T09:26:30.407-07:002010-07-06T09:26:30.407-07:00Nicely written.

I can only be greatful that I&#39;m not a teenager anymore and don&#39;t believe Bella&#39;s love story.Lesya Khyzhnyakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785171567540455637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368299330588116529.post-4870756391676676122010-07-05T01:02:00.452-07:002010-07-05T01:02:00.452-07:00Nice job calling Bella&#39;s character out as bori...Nice job calling Bella&#39;s character out as boring and empty. I remember talking to Meyer (back before the franchise blew up) and she told me that she wanted Bella to be as unremarkable as possible not only to make it seem like she was like every other girl out there, but so that readers could use her as a place holder for themselves. That struck me a bit odd seeing as young girls shouldn&#39;t hope to always have two guys fighting over her nor should she be running constantly into dangerous situations like Bella was. But I&#39;ve heard of girls doing just that: treating their lives like a novel and creating situations (sometimes risky) just so she can be a damsel in distress like Bella.<br /><br />I really liked this. You pointed out a lot of good things!Tashiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16417976639110654075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368299330588116529.post-10897516804084452052010-07-04T14:47:25.061-07:002010-07-04T14:47:25.061-07:00Nimbus Nuage, hi, thanks for your comment.

She loves someone who she is forbidden to love by society. This forms the crux of the conflict in the story.Nimbus Nuagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834407299728107820noreply@blogger.com
